1. Objectives Identify three types of microorganism: bacteria, viruses, fungi. Describe the features of each of these three types of microorganism in terms of relative size, shape and structure. Outcomes (5) Describe the structure of the three types of microorganism. (6) Explain differences between the three. (7) Suggest reasons for these differences related to structure and function. Key terms: bacteria, fungi, virus

2. In groups use the information to design your own fact sheet all about the type of micro-organism you have been given. Outcomes (5) Describe the structure of the three types of microorganism. (6) Explain differences between the three. (7) Suggest reasons for these differences related to structure and function. Key terms: bacteria, fungi, virus

3. In groups use the information (sheet and pages 226 – 229 in the book) to design your own fact sheet all about the type of micro- organism you have been given. Outcomes (5) Describe the structure of the three types of microorganism. (6) Explain differences between the three. (7) Suggest reasons for these differences related to structure and function. Key terms: bacteria, fungi, virus

4. Copy the table below and use other groups in the room to help you complete it. Start with the row on your own microorganism. Outcomes (5) Describe the structure of the three types of microorganism. (6) Explain differences between the three. (7) Suggest reasons for these differences related to structure and function. Key terms: bacteria, fungi, virus MicroorganismDiagramKey features (size, structures etc) Examples Bacteria Virus Fungi

5. Structure of a bacterium

6. Structure of a virus

7. Structure of a fungus

8. We are going to set up a practical looking at decay caused by microorganisms.

(6) Explain differences between the three. (7) Suggest reasons for these differences related to structure and function. Key terms: bacteria, fungi, virus

9. Outcomes (5) Describe the structure of the three types of microorganism. (6) Explain differences between the three. (7) Suggest reasons for these differences related to structure and function. Key terms: bacteria, fungi, virus Draw and complete by comparing features. BACTERIA FUNGI VIRUS
